APPLICATIONS

F. W. Winter Inc. & Co. offers a variety of metal and alloy powders for use in the manufacture of welding electrodes. Welding is an integral part of fabrication, repair, and upkeep of a variety of industrial equipment and consumer products. It is one of the most prevalent operations in the manufacturing sector covering a wide-spectrum of industries. Over the years, our team has established an excellent reputation within the welding industry as a supplier of superior, high-quality, and consistent powders.

The powders we offer for this application include: chromium, low-carbon ferro-chromium, high carbon ferro-chromium, and a whole range of special alloys powders. Our team will also work with you to develop new alloy compositions tailored for this application.

F. W. Winter Inc. & Co. offers a variety of metal and alloy powders for use in the production of hard-faced overlay steel plates and pipes. Wear-resistant overlay steels are used in a range of material handling equipment like elevators, hoppers, dump bins, oil pipe-lines, valves, etc. for different industrial applications. Over the years, our team had established a global reputation within the hard-facing industry as a supplier of high-quality and consistent powders which provide a superior wear-resistant overlay.

The powders we offer for this application include: high-carbon ferro-chromium and a range of special alloys powders.

Chromium powder is used for the manufacture of Cr-Al compacts which are used as melt-additions to alloy aluminum with chromium. Chromium in aluminum alloys acts as a grain-refiner and an alloy-hardener.

We sell chromium powder in a range of sizes suitable for this application.

F.W. Winter Inc. & Co. offers a wide range of lump and specially-sized metals and alloys which are suitable for melting applications. These metals and alloys are added to a molten melt to control and modify the alloy content of the material being produced for a number of different industry segments including: steel making, ferrous foundries, non-ferrous foundries, stainless steel, super-alloys, and other specialized melting operations.

Further, during the manufacture of steel, trim alloying additions can be made for steel melts using cored injection-wires. The core of the injection-wire is filled with a metal or alloy powder. Typically, a coarse powder 14 mesh x D is suitable for this specific application.

The powders we offer for these applications are: chromium, low-carbon ferro-chromium, high carbon ferro-chromium, and a whole range of special alloys.

F. W. Winter Inc. & Co. offers certain metal and alloy powders to be used as additives for the powder metallurgy and metal injection molding industries. Such fine powders are also used in a variety of specialized applications, such as the coating of turbine components. Other customers mix these fine powders with polymers for the manufacture of metal-plastic composites with unique properties. These powders typically have a median size of 7-10 µm or 2-5 µm.

We offer electrolytic chromium, ferro-phosphorous, ferro-molybdenum, and ferro-titanium-boron powders for such applications.

F.W. Winter Inc. & Co.’s ability to customize powders for customer applications which allows our products to be used in unique and exciting applications.

Some examples of specialized applications include: high-purity grade of electrolytic chromium powder for sputtering targets and special size cuts of chromium carbide powders for thermal spraying applications.

Our technical and design team works closely with our customers on joint development projects to create new applications for existing products, new products for existing applications, and also new products for new applications.
